The hose til reel proper mayconveniently take the form of upper andlower plates 98 and I00 securedas at I02 and I04 to the outlet arm I06 and the hose arms I07 ofthe-manifold I08, and the other end 3 of the reel spring 68 is securedto said manifold as at I 09.. The manifold I08 is pivotally mounted asat H0 and H2 on the vertical pipe IE4 which forms an extension 'of thepipe 52, and a suitable pivot I I 0.

The pipe II4 extends upwardly into the visiauge IIB which forms aclosure for the manii told I06, being secured theretowith a liquid-tightI22 being provided 1 seal as at I20, a suitable guard casing 10.

Liquid then Referring now to theconstruction illustrated inFigures 8 to' 14 inclusive,-a form of deviceiS shown wherein liquid is introduced through the top of the manifold.In thisconstruction the fixedsupport 398 is adapted to be secured within the casing. of a liquid dispensing apparatus and is secured to thehousing 400, said housing being passes'through themeter to themanifoldfittlng and downwardly through the manifold 216.1:0 the hose,whereitmay be dispensed in the usual way. As before, this hosereelfassembly permits'rotation through at least360", or more as desiredby the operator.

In the device shown in Figure 5, the casing 320 is provided with thepedestal 322, and said casing houses the pump 324, the suction ide .326thereof being connected to a suitable source of. supp y (not shown). Thepump is operated by themotor 321' which is controlled'in a mannerdescribed in the modification illustrated in Figures 1 2 and 3. The pumpoutlet" is connected through thepiping 328 to the inlet side of themeter 330. The outlet side of the meter is connectedto the piping 332which extends upwardly into the hose reel assembly 334, which is similarto that already described with respect to Figure -1, 2 and 3. The liquidpasses through'the visigauge 336 (similar to visigauge H8) and-throughthe hose 338 to the hose nozzle 340, shown in supported positionin theboot 342. r

In this form of construction, the hose reel may be rotated throughsubstantially 320. The support 344 is disposed'adjacent' the casing andextends upwardly, being provided with the housing 346 for theregister'348'. The register 348 is similar to the register 290, beingprovidedwith the variator 350 similar to the variator 28.8, the window352 showing the cost of each sale, the window 354 showing the amount ofeach sale, and the windows -6 showingfthe daily price. The meter shaft358 is connected as at 360 to the shaft 362 suitably journaled as at 364and 366. Said shaft, 362 is connected as at 368 to the shaft 310disposedin the support 344 andsuitably journaled therein as at 312 and314. Said shaft 310 '211through' the tube 202 to the sight gauge 280,
